Clarkson University Takes Second Overall in USA Racquetball National Intercollegiate Championship

The Clarkson University Racquetball Club brought home impressive hardware in the 40th USA Racquetball National Intercollegiate Championship.

Traveling to Tempe, Ariz., at the end of March for a long week of competition, the team was second only to Baldwin Wallace College as a team, as well as for men’s and women’s for the entire Division Two League.

The tournament included the best racquetball athletes from 50 colleges across the nation competing in the final collegiate tournament of the year.

Clarkson brought a team of six men and three women, each playing in both singles and doubles at six different skill levels.

The team did extremely well in the first round of play, knocking off impressive opponents, like University of New Mexico, University of Oregon, University of Utah, and Arizona State University.

In a later round, the men’s number-one seed from Clarkson, Marco Fontana, lost to the eventual national champion, Jansen Allen, from Colorado State University.

Notable results included senior mechanical engineering honors major Anthony Sinopoli of Brockport, N.Y., taking first place in the whites division; junior mechanical engineering major Lucas Matacchiero of Valatie, N.Y., fourth place in reds; junior mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering honors double major Cassandra Miller of Essex Junction, Vt., first place in reds; junior mechanical engineering major Janine Amell of Schenectady, N.Y., third place in reds; and junior chemical engineering major Alicia Wariner of Long Beach, Calif., third place in blues.

The team combined for a total 365 overall points.
